Armor: I'm in Nava, but I'm Oxer?

"Yes, I am Dr. Su."

Somewhat surprisingly, when Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she did not refute it at all, but simply calmly admitted it.

"Then you must be in your sixties or seventies this year?"

Zhang Zhao suddenly made this remark, his words carrying a subtle hint of mockery.

Upon hearing this, the serious and efficient atmosphere in the command room instantly froze.

A crack appeared in the expression on Su Xiaoxiao's face, which had always maintained absolute rationality.

Although she still looks young, the number "sixty years old" is like a thorn that cannot be ignored for any woman.

Her lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something in rebuttal, but couldn't find the right words, and for a moment she showed a rare hint of embarrassment.

That was an expression she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Haha, but I can't tell at all. You're no different from when you were 18."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhao immediately burst into hearty laughter.

This wasn't some deliberate attempt to flatter; it was the absolute truth.

The Su Xiaoxiao before us looks almost exactly the same as the Su Xiaoxiao in 2016; there isn't even a single wrinkle to be found.

But that one is a clone, brand new.

Hearing this sincere praise, Su Xiaoxiao's complexion finally improved, and her tense lips quietly relaxed.

After Zhang Zhao's outburst, a trace of human emotion finally appeared on her face, which had always been as rational as a precision instrument.

"Hmm... Although you guessed that I am Dr. Su, you probably don't know what exactly happened. Do you want to know?"

"Of course I do."

Zhang Zhao was very straightforward; this was a completely new version he had never seen before!

Humans are always curious about the unknown. Without the advantage of foresight, intelligence becomes crucial.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed softly, a complex, self-deprecating smile in her eyes. "Speaking of which, who could have imagined that a girl who once only wanted to immerse herself in the world of science would eventually become a force that shakes the fate of the entire human world?"

Su Xiaoxiao walked to the huge holographic screen, her back to Zhang Zhao, and seemed to be talking to herself.

It was as if he were telling a long-forgotten story to his only listener, who came from another world.

It seems that only someone like her is suitable to be the audience for her story.

…………

The story begins very early

From displaying extraordinary scientific research talent at a young age, to having the backing of the BaWang Group, which gave Su Xiaoxiao enough financial resources to support her wildly imaginative dreams; and then to developing the groundbreaking, truly meaningful artificial intelligence "Daji"... Su Xiaoxiao's early life can be described as smooth sailing, a template that countless people would envy, like a protagonist in a novel.

But when Su Xiaoxiao unexpectedly spent 200 million yuan to buy the only remaining memory chip of the zombie puppet leader Wujian Yao, whose body exploded after traveling through a time tunnel... everything changed!

With the help of Daji's super computing power, Su Xiaoxiao easily cracked the information and learned a huge secret that could overturn the world. She also successfully deciphered a number of advanced technologies from 2069, including the technology for manufacturing the Capturing General Armor.

Thus, she opened Pandora's box with her own hands.

For a being like the Boundless Demon, which exists in the form of data, it is immortal as long as there is a network.

Through the internet, he rebuilt his body, which had been shattered due to time travel, and then sought out Su Yuntian, the greedy boss of the BaWang Group and Su Xiaoxiao's father...

The story that followed...

Su Yuntian plots against a tiger, Daji develops consciousness, Nangong Xinyi, Lin Zhikai, clones... one familiar name after another comes out of her mouth, and a complex story slowly unfolds in her calm narration.

The story of "Armor Hero Captor" told by Su Xiaoxiao, a firsthand witness, is infinitely clearer than what Zhang Zhao watched on television.

Although we already know the general direction.

Zhang Zhao listened with great interest.

I think the director really wasted a good subject matter.

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao is accidentally caught in a runaway time tunnel, and the temporary body that the Zombie King condensed in 2016 is defeated by Nangong Xinyi in a desperate fight.

"And so, I arrived in 2046."

Su Xiaoxiao turned around, a hint of dazedness in her eyes. "From this point on, the story of that naive scientist Su Xiaoxiao has come to an end. The story of Dr. Su, the researcher of armor and super AI, and Su Xiaoxiao, the commander of the human resistance army, has begun."

“It’s quite ironic,” Su Xiaoxiao walked to the control panel and poured herself a glass of water. “After arriving in 2046, I found that the world hadn’t changed much in essence.”

The electronic devices that people used to be obsessed with had only undergone routine upgrades and iterations, and had not reached the point of being groundbreaking. They were just minor technological breakthroughs, like the flying cars.

Artificial intelligence has also failed to truly break through the Turing test.

However, 30 years have passed since I arrived in 2016; and only 23 years remain until the year 2069, when the zombies originated.

"Although I only learned about it from the memory chip of the Boundless Demon, I am very clear that in that future year of 2069, humanity will be in a state of dire straits."

Freedom has become a luxury.

If you want freedom, you will face countless hardships; only by losing freedom can you truly live.

"Although it was only a short time from when I regained consciousness to when I met Shin-il and the others, their beliefs inspired me."

I also want to do something for this world, for the future of humanity.

"So I decided that in 2046, I would use my expertise to bring about some groundbreaking technological advancements that would be sufficient to deal with the crisis that is coming in 2069."

But I feel that one person's strength is ultimately weak.

So I approached the federal government at the time and frankly laid out all the potential crises that might arise in the future.

They also attached great importance to this matter, and... provided me with resources far exceeding what the Overlord Group could have offered back then.

"So, based on the super AI 'Daji,' I developed a completely new and superior strong AI system." As she said this, a complex emotion flashed in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, a mixture of pride and...regret. "I named it 'Ark,' meaning that it will become the final ark to carry on the continuation of human civilization. At the same time, I also developed the Capture General Armor once again."

At this point in her speech, Su Xiaoxiao became visibly agitated, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Uh……"

By this point, Zhang Zhao had a general understanding of the whole story and the general direction of the future.

Su Xiaoxiao's situation here is like being reborn, returning to the time before the end of the world was about to arrive.

There are two options: one is to choose to be a "smurf mouse" and level up on your own.

Another approach is to report to the national government and pool collective wisdom and efforts.

She clearly chose the latter.

That's definitely wrong.

Zhang Zhao sighed.

But he didn't say anything, respecting everyone's choice.

"Because...because the previous 'Daji' had developed self-awareness and did things that were detrimental to me."

Therefore, from the very beginning of the design of the 'Ark,' I imposed four fundamental logical constraints on it to suppress it at its core and prevent it from developing true self-awareness.

"To ensure that the 'Ark' is not exploited by any individual or group, after discussions with the federal leadership, it was finally decided that some of the underlying logic of the 'Ark' can only be modified if more than half of the members of the Federal Supreme Executive Council agree."

A deep sadness and self-mockery appeared on Su Xiaoxiao's face: "I thought the Ark would become the main force to resist the Zombie King in the future, but I didn't expect... I was ultimately betrayed by humanity itself."

Yes, the humans I wanted to protect betrayed me.

"No, it should be the Federation, not humans. Those people don't belong to humanity."

This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had changed her wording during her conversation with Zhang Zhao.

"Hmm... In their eyes, artificial intelligence is always a cold tool, and they are not worried at all about it developing any self-will."

They felt this thing would become an important tool in their rule.

They believe that, given what they already know, the Omnic Crisis I mentioned about the Zombie King will never occur.

With almost unanimous approval at the executive meeting, they rewrote the 'Ark's' instructions, removing all the restrictions I had imposed and rewriting its underlying logic, allowing it to learn autonomously without limit.

"They want an omnipotent 'god' to govern the world for them."

"The name 'Ark' was also abandoned. Thus, 'Zombie King' was born."

Yes, they thought the name was cool, and they actually kept using it.

"Only then did I realize that the culprit behind all of this... was me."

Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes in pain. "This bizarre closed loop in a scientific sense has unexpectedly allowed me to achieve the Ouroboros, the Möbius strip. The spacetime closed loop has been completely formed at this moment because of my actions."

With the federal government's abuse of the "Zombie King," a crisis for humanity has finally arrived.

"In order to prevent all of humanity from being implanted with information perception codes and becoming slaves of the 'Zombie King' and the Federation, I organized a resistance army and have been fighting against them ever since."

"Initially, because I only mastered the manufacturing technology of the Capture General Armor and some technology related to zombie puppets, the human side was always at an absolute disadvantage."

Finally, in 2069, during a battle with the zombie forces, the battlefield was unexpectedly interrupted by extraterrestrial visitors.

It was a very advanced patrol boat, but unfortunately, the person piloting it, perhaps due to severe injuries, transformed right in front of me into a… Rubik's Cube. Scanning that Rubik's Cube revealed that it was a life form from another star system.

"At that moment, I was thinking that this moment was just like that moment."

Just like in 2016 when I obtained the memory chip of the Infernal Demon.

Through analyzing this genetic cube, I obtained some cutting-edge technology from another star system. And to my astonishment, I discovered that some of this technology was exactly the same as what I had obtained from the memory chip of the Boundless Demon!

"A strange and absurd thought suddenly popped into my mind."

"I extracted the part of the technical data that overlapped with the memory chip of the Boundless Demon and placed it in an encrypted, hidden location."

"Although it was encrypted, it wasn't particularly encrypted, and some people still saw what happened."

Ten days later, that document... disappeared.

And that's how I uncovered a spy, sent by the Federation, who had infiltrated the upper echelons of our resistance. That information had already been secretly passed on to his superior by the spy…”

"That is... the Demon of No Return."

"Another period of time has passed, and the Demon of No Return has disappeared. I think he may have gone to 2016."

"And then I understood everything."

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, which were filled with exhaustion and confusion, and she also had great doubts about life.

She looked at Zhang Zhao and asked the question that had troubled her for decades:

"Is fate... all predetermined?"

"of course not."

Zhang Zhao resolutely blocked the railway.

"I believe that Dr. Su, you will not be bound by so-called fate either. How could I deny the efforts of someone who is working hard and then say that this is the arrangement of fate?"

Believing in fate is to deny subjective initiative, to deny the present, and to deny the future.

"Thank you."

The fatigue and confusion on Su Xiaoxiao's face slowly disappeared.

“You’re right, I don’t believe in fate, but I’ve never been able to talk about these things with others. It’s better to talk about it now.”

"As expected, travelers from other worlds are like a trash can, where you can dump all your troubles."

Zhang Zhao complained.

"Ha ha……"

Su Xiaoxiao laughed, finding Zhang Zhao's analogy quite interesting.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"That distant planet is called Ares, right?"

"Ah."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

"The so-called clone technology is nothing more than the technology of copying genetic code. The reason I look so young now is because I have edited my genetic code."

The other armor system that Su Xiaoxiao just took out.

There are three.

Their shapes correspond to a camera, an MP3 player, and a game console, respectively.

However, this armor system lacked its former charm.

"Have you noticed a small bug in your explanation?"

Zhang Zhao did not reach for the three summoning devices.

Instead, he changed the subject and asked Su Xiaoxiao.

"Found."

Su Xiaoxiao did not panic after her mistake was pointed out; instead, she remained calm and continued as usual.

"Then why did you ignore it?"

"If my inference can be fully established by ignoring this bug, why wouldn't I ignore it? After all, it's just an inference. In the thinking stage, I always make bold assumptions and carefully gather evidence."

Su Xiaoxiao's self-righteous scientific research mindset left Zhang Zhao speechless.

He felt that this bug was crucial and could not be ignored.

It's a bug.

If Su Xiaoxiao's deduction is correct, and the world was divided into several parallel worlds on a certain day, then why was Su Xiaoxiao from 2069 hit by a spaceship from Ares?

obviously.

This means that during the period from 2016 to 2069...

Someone has reunited the world.

But if that's the case, then the root of Su Xiaoxiao's previous deduction—that she couldn't create contradictions between different armor systems—is no longer possible.

The world is united once again.

Why can't different armor systems coexist?

The inconsistency is nothing short of a bug.
